As campy as Automan was, I loved it.

Streethawk was fun to watch. Funny he never had to stop for fuel.

I don't recall finishing a single episode of the Next Generation series. The closest I came was the movie Star Trek *Generations* which also starred Patrick Stewart.

I don't believe Stewart is gay, but he exhibits those traits to such an extent that I find him unwatchable. lol

Amazing how many of them are gone.

And how young they were.

Peter Jurasik remembered me and my wife every time we visited his table.

He and Andreas Katsulas were my favorite characters. Of course the other characters were also pretty awesome. They were an excellent cast.

The short lived cartoon was actually better even though it was kiddie-fied.

[wally_bert]

It got killed as it was becoming watchable.

I was going to say as much, but figured someone else would or you would clear it up. I’ve never heard Billy Mumy (or anyone) say a bad word against him as a person.

[wally_bert]

I liked Scarecrow & Mrs. King.

[wally_bert]

The cartoon had a good opening but suffered from Filmation animation and comic book action.

[DiogenesLamp]

“They made a movie about the future called ‘Logan’s Run’, and there ain’t no n_____s in it, I said, ‘White folks ain’t plannin’ for us to be here.’”

I remember that. It was funny at the time. Nowadays I think they go overboard to create a "diverse" cast and especially the lead actors.

Gabrielle Drake, whom you see speaking into the microphone, was playing a Lunar base commander when Sally Ride was just a college Freshman. Gerry Anderson beat Gene Roddenberry in getting a female commander by 24 years.

So nice, you had to post it twice!

[Tax-chick]

Well, yes, it wasn’t that great. But it existed!

[wally_bert]

They played very well off each other.

I met Andreas at one Con. It was hard to tell if he was putting on a show or actually kind of curmudgeonly.

[DiogenesLamp]

I believe YoYo died this last year.

I think as a kid I was picking up on the slimy oiliness of his character, which he did a good job of expressing.

I LOVED his part in “A Bug’s Life”. It was perfect...:)

Try the old 40s Batman serials.

I never knew Logan’s Run was a TV show and I was certainly old enough to remember it.

I love sci-fi.

Lost in Space should absolutely have been on that list.

[SkyDancer]

4. Galactica 1980 (1980) It was a Mormon teaching show.

[left that other site]

1. Space 1999.

I totally agree! And it was such a waste and a tragedy. Actors Martin Landau and Barbara Bain, and the best SFX of the era.

WHAT could POSSIBLY go wrong?

It all has to do with the writing, I guess.
